For leg flexibility a good stretch is to put one leg forwards and the other back and then lean towards your toes, gently. This way you stretch a muscle while it's not actively pulling, and that seems to be easier on them. As a cyclist, that's the main place I need to stretch. Similarly, putting down a fairly thick book, doing the same stance, with the ball of your front foot on the book, helps with calf stretching. There are scads of youtube videos for yoga moves. It does help. I wonder when the first kinect yoga tutor will come out? It'd be awesome and probably make a mint.
